There is a big Soccer field in front of our home and we spend our leisure time playing soccer there with our neighbours: Ali, Kai, Cameron, Une, David, Daniel, Ben and ... In Iran we played just football matches even when there are a few people. But here in Dublin, we play other games related to football with each other. I explain two of the games as follows:
1) Heads and Volleys
The game is actually easy and fun. You have to either score a Header or a Volley so that the keeper can't collect it and if he does, you will go in (the goal). That means one player crosses the ball into the box where the players use the chance and score. If you score by shooting a ball low, you will go in the goal. This also happens if the Ball goes out and you miss. If the keeper concedes 5 goals or more, (here comes the funny thing!!) you have to turn around and show your butt!! Then every other player has to shoot the ball into the poor keeper's butt!! It's really hard to hit it exactly!
2) Five in in
We played this game in Iran but the Irish version is a bit different. At first, someone will go in the goal and the other players have to score goals but they can't pass the ball and have to be aware of others catching the ball and scoring. The one who scores 5 goals will go in (the goal) and this is where the odd name of the game comes from. 5 (goals) in (will go) in (the goal)
Playing these games are really fun and our neighbours and I would go out and play more if the weather wouldn't be rainy and wet...
